 |
|
I have a Brodcom ADSL modem/router , that can use ehternet as well as usb interface for intenet connectivity.
Both the interfaces can be used at the same time for connecting two computers.
So here is my problem. My pc is using ethernet port for net connectivity and my laptop uses usb port. Now, the modem came with required(windows) usb drivers.So in windows , my laptop was able to connect to internet after driver install.
But in Linux , though the Modem , shows up as "Broadcom Usb Network interface". and i can also see it through 'cat /proc/usb/devices'. But my problem is , its not assigned any device interface. Meaning, no entry is created in '/dev' directory. SO i am unable to use my Modem.
I tried compiling kernel with USB modem supprt , still no luck!! Any ideas? |

If it is CDC Ethernet class (ie the standard way of doing things), then it works with usbnet. The usbnet help text says it should work with Broadcom cable modems, so there is some hope. Driver for CDC ethernet is this one (modprobe usbnet, and an interface ethX or usbX should appear - you configure that like any other network interface):
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
USB support --->
USB Network Adapters --->
<M> Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework
[*] CDC Ethernet support (smart devices such as cable modems) (NEW) |
